The father of a missing Georgia boy was training children at a New Mexico compound to commit school shootings, prosecutors said in court documents obtained Wednesday. Per the AP, the documents say Siraj Ibn Wahhaj was conducting weapons training with assault rifles at the compound near the Colorado border where 11 hungry children were found in filthy conditions. Prosecutor Timothy Hasson filed the documents while asking that Wahhaj be held without bail after he was arrested last week with four other adults facing child abuse charges. Prosecutors did not bring up the school shooting accusation in court on Wednesday during an initial appearance. Authorities say the remains of a boy also were found at the compound but have not been positively identified by medical examiners. Wahhaj's son, Abdul-ghani Wahhaj, went missing in December.

Authorities say his father had told the boy's mother he was taking the child to a park and didn't return. For months, neighbors worried about the squalid compound built along a remote New Mexico plain, saying they took their concerns to authorities months before sheriff's officials raided the encampment, described as a small camping trailer in the ground. Authorities said during the raid Friday that they had found the father armed with multiple firearms, including an assault rifle. They also said they believed there was a shooting range on the site. The group arrived in Amalia in December, according to Tyler Anderson, a 41-year-old auto mechanic who lives nearby. Anderson said he met both of the men in the group, but never the women, who authorities have said are the mothers of the 11 children, ages 1 to 15.

Islam, you know you'd be pretty had put to point to a world map and touch a country 'unaffected' by some sort of Islamic radicalism, terrorism, barbarism, crime or discontent, seems it to migrated, hand and hand, along with the Muslim people worldwide and there's no denying it, simple truth! It would seem the Muslim people have become the 'harbingers' for 'death and destruction', that which follows their arrival, what we're seeing from country to country. All religions have shown their dark sides at one time or the other, but Islam has gone full blown global terrorist, with associates in every major city, in every major country now, all thanks to 'immigration' without 'hesitation' and you all know who you can thank for that!...the iron fist of Islam hides within the ranks of the poor Muslim people, they need to wake up to that reality!...
